Chemical Physics (MSci)

Join a University ranked first in the UK for Chemistry research and in the UK for top five for Physics research (THEanalysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning. This four-year course is ideal for those considering scientific careers that will make direct use of their subject-specific knowledge and skills. Our degrees incorporate units in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The first year gives you a comprehensive grounding in these subjects, while later years focus on atomic and molecular science and its interdisciplinary applications. You will focus on areas at the interface between chemistry and physics, emphasising cross-disciplinary topics such as materials science and nanoscience, As well as lectures and practical classes, small-group tutorials and workshops help develop your understanding of challenging and exciting concepts. Practical labs in both chemistry and physics help develop experimental techniques, computational modelling, and programming skills needed in the final year for conducting a research project with a research team. Our graduates have an excellent record of employment across a range of industries. This is a testament to the value that employers place on these skills. The course is accredited by both the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
